The Culture Wake-Up Call – Why “Fixing the Culture” Isn’t a Slogan
If you’ve ever said, “We need to fix the culture”… but weren’t exactly sure what that meant — this episode is your wake-up call.
On this week’s episode of ScaleUP & Grow, Mary Ricketts (your favorite straight-talking, leadership-shifting coach) breaks down the real meaning of organizational culture — the stuff most leaders avoid, deny, or downplay.
This isn’t another soft, feel-good conversation about morale.
This is a bold, direct, game-changing message about leadership accountability, trust, communication, and the everyday behaviors that silently shape your team’s performance.
In this episode you’ll discover:
• The truth behind why culture breaks (hint: it’s not your employees)
• The 5 hidden symptoms leaders overlook until it’s too late
• How leadership behavior—good or bad—sets the emotional temperature of the entire organization
• Why “fixing the culture” isn’t HR’s job… it’s yours
• The silent damage caused by avoidance, inconsistency, and unspoken tension
• 7 powerful diagnostic questions every leader must answer before attempting any culture change
And yes — Mary brings that Gary Vee energy: direct, unfiltered, and all real.
No strategies. No step-by-step fixes.
Just pure clarity, truth, and leadership awareness you can’t afford to ignore.
